  • 3 cloves of garlic (1.5 tbsp minced)
  • 2 medium bell peppers (2 cups chopped)
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Brown the ground beef in a large pot over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the diced onion to the pot and cook until it is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the diced bell pepper to the pot and cook until it starts to soften, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and paprika, and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the spices are fragrant.
  6. Add the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, and beef broth to the pot, and stir to combine.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20-30 minutes, until the flavors have melded together and the chili has thickened slightly.
  8. Season the chili with salt and pepper to taste, then serve hot.
